Damn! Some awesome chili and cornbread last night, paired with a few glasses of wine, and that resulted in nothing but an almost instant snooze-fest!
We tried watching some Stargate Universe, but the force was too strong, the couch too comfortable, and lights were out within minutes.
So, who's picking up Portal 2 today? Everybody! If portal-placing puzzle-solving fun isn't your bag, then there are quite a few other
titles shipping today, such as Mortal Kombat, SOCOM 4, and probably a few other knickknacks.
Well, I'd better get to it ...

Damn, this weekend flew by in a hurry!
Apart from going out for some tasty breakfast, we mainly watched movies. There was a Toy Story marathon on TV, so we watched the first two of the trilogy, some Bones, NCIS, Supernatural, and we went to the theater to see
Source Code. If you haven't seen
Jake Gyllenhaal's latest movie yet (also starring
Russell Peters,
Vera Farmiga and
Michelle Monaghan), then I won't spoil give any spoilers, but the movie was quite good and the last minute is a head scratcher in a good and bad way. Also watched
Just Wright with Queen Latifah and Common, and it was surprisingly good for a romantic comedy.
We suffered through
Machete, and wow, for all the high-profile cameos (
Robert De Niro,
Don Johnson,
Steven Seagal and
Jessica Alba), I did NOT like it at ALL. What a waste of time.
